Happy Sunday artsy people, Tamiko here! My fairy, can be found on page 21, if you are following along with Sandee and myself on our adventure. I saw a series of great techniques on how to use gelatos with Amber Button and I tried some, when I used my gelatos today.. so if you are afraid of gelatos.. or have some and have never used them please check her out here, she's great! I don't have more detailed pictures because it was dark inside and out when I created this, but the party must go on right?
I created a background by using a coldpress notebook page by Cottonwood Arts and wet it with water with my Ranger misters. I then took my gelato, wet the tip in my water bowl and proceeded to slather colors- creating my base, for my background, directly from the stick. Then I took my finger and wet it with water.. and rubbed the color across the page. I let it dry (while getting a cup of coffee.. lol) I came back drew with my mechanical pencil from my Pigma Sensei set.. love that pencil and eraser.. had no problems erasing on top of the gelatos.
After it was dry.. I took my sensei pens, which are waterproof, and traced over my pencil lines and erased. Then I took my water brush and pulled pigment/color directly from tube and painted my images. I still went back with my white Sharpie (water-based) paint pen, Moonlight gelly roll pens, and Faber Castell Big Brush Pitt Pens, which I use too add dept and lil' accents here and there. Oh and don't let me forget the *shimma*. I am a *control* shimmer freak! So I use a Wink of Stella brush pen in clear... to add sparkle/shimmer to my fairy! ::chuckles::

Last thing were my quotes.. with Brave Wings, She flies... & U R NOT ALONE... for me.. that means KEEP GOING.. just when you think you can't.. YOU CAN.. your wings will carry you as long as your willing to fly.. U R NOT ALONE.. simply means what it says :). You do have people who care and of course, whatever higher power, you believe in. :) ((hugs))
Here are a few other pictures..
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!!
